Has parking become the biggest challenge of van travel?

Fanfandu72 · 2026-06-21

Hi everyone, I’ve been traveling by van for several years now, and lately, I feel like parking has become one of the trickiest parts of life on the road. Between municipal bylaws, local restrictions, tourist pressure, and sometimes a lack of tolerance, finding a spot to park peacefully—especially at night—takes more and more planning. Personally, it’s no longer the route or the destinations that trip me up, but rather the stress of parking without causing a fuss or bothering anyone. I’m curious if you’ve noticed the same thing in the areas you visit. How do you adapt these days to park your van or campervan without hassle? Do you plan ahead, use private spots, dedicated areas, or try a different approach? Thanks in advance for your feedback and experiences!
